Ford Focus Electric

A Ford Focus Electric will make its competitive debut at the famous Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in Worcestershire, England, next month.

Trevor Willis, 2012 British Hill Climb Champion and current leader of this year’s championship will be driving the new Focus Electric in the newly created Electric Vehicle Class for The Midland Automobile Club’s British Racing Green hill climb event.

The Midland Automobile Club invited all the car manufacturers to enter a variety of classes with the electric class being the main focus, at the 112 year old venue.

The Focus Electric can travel up to 225 km on a single battery charge and is powered by a 145 hp electric motor, and a 33.5 kilowatt-hour battery. Both the battery and motor are liquid-cooled and - heated, helping the hatchback to be more energy-efficient and extending the battery lifespan

British Racing Green takes place on the 3rd and 4th June to celebrate all things British, Racing and Green.
